It is the main artery of Venice, and snakes its way like a huge S through the city: the Canal Grande, the Main Street of this unique city.
For most visitors, the first view they get of Venice is the Canal Grande, either upon exiting the railway station, or Piazzale Roma which can be reached by road. The most obvious way from here is to take a vaporetto through the city - it gives an excellent impression of what Venice is all about: water, majestic palaces and boats, lots of boats. Equally rewarding, though, is to walk along the Canal Grande: it gives you ample opportunity to marvel at the beauties of palazzi, some with finely decorated marble front sides, on the other side of the Canal. There are, however, entire stretches of the Canal Grande without pavements: the palazzi rise directly from the water of the Canal.
